See thread starting

Where are these expectations coming from?
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/syndata.html#q20 (CSS 2.0,
back in 1998) says that times can't be unitless. Compare it to
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/syndata.html#length-units
which says that 0 lengths can be unitless.
Or is the expectation coming from the fact that most web authors never
used any times, only lengths, which don't have the same syntax, and now
they're starting to use times and being confused?
